Praise Points
Thank you for praying for God’s work to be done through our organisation, Blessed to Bless. Firstly, it is good to praise God for His goodness to us. He has blessed us abundantly in Australia and it is because of this that we are able to help others instead of being in such dire circumstances ourselves.
- Praise God for the many people who are keen to help those in need. We are very thankful for all who have offered help (financially, prayerfully or in many other ways), to these needy people, especially the children.
- Praise God for the progress that we have been able to make with the Zambian Revenue Authority (ZRA) in gaining tax exemption in Zambia.
- Give thanks for all the dedicated sponsors whose financial support enables many children to attend High School.
- Praise God for the successful fundraising events that we have been able to hold so far.
- Give thanks for the large block of land we that we have been able to acquire in Kasompe, Chingola.
Current Prayer Points
- Ideas and volunteers to work on fundraising for the coming year, and guidance for approaching larger organisations for funding and grants.
- Pray for wisdom in doing the paperwork that is involved in maintaining our organisation, as this is a huge task.
- Pray for the teachers at Manyando Youth Action Community School as they struggle to teach so many students with few resources.
- Pray for guidance in achieving deductible gift recipiency (to allow tax deductions for large donations), possibly by linking up with a larger charity.
Ongoing Prayer Points
Please pray for the safe transfer of funds between Australia and Zambia, with minimum fees, so that as much money as possible can go directly to where it is required.
